Hilliard (neck) remains a free agent a week before the start of NFL training camps, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hilliard went into last season as Tennessee's passing-down back and caught a pair of TD passes Week 1, but he was mostly quiet thereafter and eventually missed the final four games with a neck injury that sent him to injured reserve. He did well with his limited touches, averaging 6.6 yards on 22 carries and 6.8 yards on 26 targets, so the 28-year-old should at least get the chance to compete for a backup role this summer if he's healthy and wants to continue his career.

Hilliard (neck) has been placed on IR, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hilliard, who suffered a neck injury in Week 14, is thus slated to miss the rest of the regular season. In a corresponding move, Julius Chestnut was signed to the Titans' active roster to provide the team with added backfield depth behind Derrick Henry and Hassan Haskins.

Hilliard (neck) won't play Sunday against the Chargers, per coach Mike Vrabel, Turron Davenport of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hilliard being ruled out so early in the week suggests the change-of-pace running back could be looking at an extended absence. He'll sit out Week 15 at a minimum, leaving Julius Chestnut as Tennessee's likely passing down option against the Chargers. Chestnut caught both of his targets for eight yards in the Week 14 loss to Jacksonville after Hilliard got hurt.

Hilliard was forced out of Sunday's game against the Jaguars with a neck injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Hilliard sidelined and Hassan Haskins (hip) inactive Sunday, practice squad elevation Julius Chestnut is on hand to back up Derrick Henry and contribute as a returner versus Jacksonville.

Hilliard rushed the ball once for two yards in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Eagles. He added two receptions on two targets for 14 yards.

EDGE Analysis

Hilliard continued to work minimally behind Derrick Henry, and he now has exactly one rushing attempt in four of his last seven games. He did manage multiple receptions for the second consecutive game, though that's resulted in only 17 combined yards. Hilliard has value as the likely lead back if Henry were to become unavailable, though he can't be projected to get much work in the meantime.

Hilliard rushed the ball twice for 16 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Bengals. He added three receptions for three yards.

EDGE Analysis

Hilliard has had a few splash performances this season thanks to his ability to find the end zone, but his volume has remained minimal while working behind Derrick Henry. That was no exception against the Bengals on Sunday, and Hilliard has now seen two or fewer rushing attempts in eight of 10 games on the campaign. His three receptions were his highest mark since Week 5, though he had minimal production with that opportunity.

Hilliard ran the ball once for four yards in Thursday's 27-17 win over the Packers. He added one reception for 14 yards and a touchdown.

EDGE Analysis

Hilliard saw only two touches, each of which came within the Titans' first two offensive possessions. However, he made good use of his limited opportunity by finding the end zone on a14-yard reception to cap Tennessee's first drive. Hilliard now has four touchdowns on the season despite racking up only 19 rushing attempts and 16 catches across nine games.

Hilliard recorded one rush for two yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Broncos. He added one reception on two targets for six yards.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan Tannehill took to the air 36 times, typically a game script that should benefit Hilliard. Instead, he saw only two touches and made no meaningful contribution on offense. While he's had some spike performances, Hilliard is primarily the handcuff to Derrick Henry.

Hilliard (groin) turned in a full practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hilliard took only limited reps in the Titans' first Week 10 practice Wednesday, but his advancement to full participation a day later clears the way for him to play Sunday against the Broncos. He'll likely work in his typical complementary role behind top back Derrick Henry, with most of Hilliard's opportunities coming on passing downs or on the few occasions Henry requires a breather on early downs.

Hillard (groin) was listed as limited in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hilliard logged 16 snaps on offense while working behind top back Derrick Henry (30 snaps, 17 carries) in this past Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Chiefs. In the process, Hilliard carried three times for 12 yards and added one reception for minus-4 yards. As long as Henry remains available, Hilliard's complementary role will continue to yield hit-or-miss fantasy production.
